Jets Nation

Showing improvement

The Jets fought all the way into overtime, but couldn't quite finish the job.

New York pushed Green Bay through four quarters and beyond before ultimately falling 20-17 at home.

Geno Smith battled throughout the afternoon:

💚 27/41 completions
🤍 247 passing yards
💚 1 passing touchdown
🤍 17 rushing yards

And Garrett Wilson was on the receiving end of Geno's lone touchdown pass, finishing with five catches for 57 yards and the score.

The Jets came up short, but they gave Green Bay everything it could handle and were right there with a chance to win it in overtime.

Not the result New York wanted, but plenty of fight from this offense. 👏

Tough way to spoil the home opener.�

Heading into halftime tied up at 7 felt like we had all the momentum, but the offense just couldn't build consistency in the second half. Time to bounce back in Week 3. 📉

An unfortunate injury blow for the New York Jets

Jets lose receiver to IR ahead of Week 2 game vs. Packers Jets rookie WR Omar Cooper Jr. lands on injured reserve with an ankle sprain and will miss at least four games.

Kenyon Sadiq's NFL career started with a win and a little bit of history.

The rookie tight end caught all three of his targets for 21 yards in the Jets' Week 1 victory over Tennessee.

But his most memorable play came on the ground.

Sadiq scored a three-yard rushing touchdown, becoming just the second tight end in NFL history to record a rushing TD in his first career game.

The other? Hall of Famer Ozzie Newsome.

That's some pretty remarkable company to join on your very first Sunday in the league.

It's only one game, and Sadiq will have plenty of opportunities to grow from here.

But for the rookie, this was certainly a special way to get started.

It's time to hunt the quarterback.

The Jets have boosted their depth by signing cornerback Jordan Clark to the active roster, while adding veteran wide receivers Sterling Shepard and Tyler Johnson, along with safety John Saunders, to the practice squad.
